Chapter 175: Second Uncle, You’re Quite Amazing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What was this?! Second Uncle Ning thought that as long as he wasn’t embarrassed, others would be the ones embarrassed. He directly ignored Xiaoxiao’s complaints. “I’m here to settle scores with you! Let me tell you, your Second Aunt’s stomach didn’t feel good when she came back from your house yesterday. If anything happens to my son, you won’t be able to escape responsibility!”
He glanced at Rong Yan. He was actually prepared to accuse him, but when he met the little young master’s eyes, he could only say, “Y-you. Don’t even think about running away!”
Xiaoxiao asked him, “Second Aunt was fine when she went back yesterday. So many people in the village were watching. Little Big Brother’s guards didn’t even touch her when they sent her back. Second Uncle, what kind of muddle-headed debt is this?”
“Don’t tell me that she bumped onto the bamboo pole. I’ve played with Doggie, Donkey and Egg. Nothing happened!”
Yun Er and Yun San came to a realization—so Miss Ning invited them to carry her around for this! She was planning ahead! They actually thought that she was just doing it for fun. They were really ashamed.
Putting herself in his shoes, Mrs. Shen felt that the Ning Family probably didn’t want outsiders to see their mess, so she didn’t say anything. Li Muyan quickly identified Second Uncle Ning and guessed that he was the greedy relative of the Ning Family who colluded with the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.
Second Uncle Ning knew that after his eldest brother’s family started selling food, there would often be a rich family coming to his brother’s house to eat and buy things. However, he didn’t expect so many people to come. Fortunately, Li Muyan came in a hurry today and didn’t have time to tidy up after running around for a few days. The Shen family also deliberately kept a low profile. Otherwise, Second Uncle Ning wouldn’t be able to find his eyeballs.
Even so, that restless gaze was still unpleasant. Xiaoxiao was short and could not block his gaze, so she could only apologize to the guests and ask them to forgive her for not being able to send them off.
Of course, everyone understood. However, Shen Tianci, who was about to leave, jumped out of the carriage restlessly and stared at Xiaoxiao as he asked Mrs. Shen.
“Ning Xiaoxiao’s elders aren’t good people. Will she be bullied?”
Xiaoxiao sighed. “With Second Uncle’s intelligence, you should know that pretending to be sick is useless when you meet a doctor, right?”
Second Uncle Ning said confidently, “Why? Do you think I will lie to a little girl like you?”
“Your Second Aunt was frightened after being bitten by your beast. That’s why she almost had a miscarriage. She’s in danger now!”
Xiaoxiao asked him, “Are you sure?”
Second Uncle Ning nodded firmly. Xiaoxiao asked again, “Did Doctor He make the diagnosis?”
Second Uncle Ning rolled his eyes in disdain. “That old fool… I mean what does that doctor know? Listen carefully. The person who checked your Second Aunt’s pulse this time is a divine doctor!”
He did not notice that an unfamiliar young master in the courtyard looked up at him with an ambiguous gaze and was still bragging. “Do you know the county magistrate of our county?”
County Magistrate Shen lifted the curtain and looked at the setting sun.
Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment before she nodded.
Second Uncle Ning continued, “Then do you know who the county magistrate’s wife is?”
Mrs. Shen, who was also in the carriage, used the afterglow to admire the nail varnish that had just been applied on her fingernails.
Xiaoxiao continued to remain silent. Second Uncle Ning looked at her as if she was an ignorant child and then bragged, “You should know the Li Family, the richest family in Jiangnan, right?”
Li Muyan, who had rushed over and was about to leave in a hurry, patted the dust off his clothes and retracted his boots from the carriage’s footstool with a gentle smile.
Xiaoxiao’s face was wooden and she did not want to express her stance.
Second Uncle Ning put his hands behind his back and looked smug as if he was talking about his own matters. “The Li Family is a family that can throw money away for fun. Our county magistrate’s wife is the daughter of the Li Family. Sigh, you won’t understand even if I tell you this. Let me tell you, Old Madam Li has been very sick recently. The Li Family and the Shen Family are unanimously looking for a divine doctor to treat her. It’s said that this divine doctor can revive the dead. No matter what kind of difficult illness it is, it will definitely be cured…”
Interrupting his increasingly nonsensical bragging, Xiaoxiao asked, “Don’t tell me you’re going to say that this divine doctor was the one who treated Second Aunt?”
Second Uncle Ning’s eyebrows were about to fly up. “Of course. This miracle doctor is elusive. Ordinary people don’t have the chance to see him. It was only yesterday that your Second Uncle happened to save the miracle doctor who had fainted on the mountain. In return, he treated your Second Aunt. When he did, I realized that my wife was almost killed by you!”
Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “But we didn’t touch Second Aunt yesterday. In order to prevent her from getting injured, we didn’t even let her walk much. It was Yun Er and Yun San who carried her back. Don’t tell me that she can get sick lying down. Second Aunt really has to be careful even when she breathes.”
“Even if this divine doctor is as godly as you say and really came to the mountain near our Fortune Village for no reason, it’s really a coincidence that he fainted outside and was saved by you. Second Uncle, if you say that Second Aunt was bitten by my Walnut, I won’t admit it even if 1 didn’t see Second Aunt’s wound.”
Second Uncle Ning immediately put on the face of a victim. “Ning Xiaoxiao, if you admit your mistake honestly, I’ll just let you pay for the medical fees. If you don’t repent, I’ll sue you in court!”
“Don’t blame me for not reminding you. This divine doctor is going to treat the county magistrate’s mother-in-law. When the time comes, he’ll hit you with the paddle 20 times first. Let’s see if you’re afraid!”
Xiaoxiao was neither anxious nor angry. As Second Uncle Ning spoke, she counted in detail. “In a sense, Second Uncle, you’re quite impressive.” Other than the godly doctor that she had never heard of, everyone present was actually named by him.
Naturally, Second Uncle Ning couldn’t understand the ridicule in Xiaoxiao’s words and thought that Xiaoxiao was bluffing. “If you know that you’re afraid, why aren’t you being honest…”
Ning Fengnian frowned as he stood in front of his children.
“Second Brother, I don’t believe what you said.”
Second Uncle Ning looked at his older brother, who was very different from before, in disbelief. “What did you say?”
Ning Fengnian looked at the chubby Walnut in Xiaoxiao’s arms. “Our Walnut won’t bite.”
Second Uncle Ning snorted. “Who doesn’t say that their animals are obedient? Is Cuihua going to suffer for nothing just because of your words?”
“Let me tell you, this beast raised by your family is very fierce. There’s a huge wound on Cuihua’s leg. Yesterday, it was covered by her pants and clothes and no one discovered it. When 1 went home, I took a look. Aiyo, it’s simply unbelievably miserable!”
Xiaoxiao seemed to be very curious as she asked, “Second Aunt was bitten by my dog. Is this also what the divine doctor said?”
Second Uncle Ning puffed out his chest. “Of course. The divine doctor is amazing. He could tell at a glance that your Second Aunt’s illness was caused by this beast’s bite! Let me tell you, don’t try to deny it! I’m the one in the right when I tell the county office about this!”
Ning Fengnian was about to say something when Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve and shook her head.
At this moment, Second Uncle Ning’s gaze wandered. He looked at the two carriages at the door and then at the gift boxes that the Ning Family had yet to put away. The greed in his heart grew.
The carriage was not big, but it was still a carriage. It was a carriage that only noble Masters could afford!
When did Big Brother get to know these rich Masters?
